Have a wonderful week!
I have just spent an hour printing every recipe I could find on your sites. I still want a cookbook if you have one, but these printouts will do for now. Your site is the easiest to use of any site I have ever found on the web! I stopped printing because I used all of my ink and half a ream of printer paper. You are amazing!! Thank you! Keep those one-person recipes coming!
I enjoyed cooking when I had someone to cook for. When I became a household of one, a meal was a jar of peanut butter in one hand and a spoon in the other. I knew that wasn’t good, but couldn’t bring myself to fire up the oven, three burners, and spend the time/effort I had in the past just for myself. So, I’m trying to find a happy medium, a reasonably tasty, simple meal for one, or two with leftovers would be even better. Happy to have stumbled across this site in my effort to reform and move past peanut butter.
I’m new to your site. I’m wondering if there is a way to pin your recipes for easy and paperless keeping. Thanks so much, I’m excited to try your casseroles for 2!
Thank you so much for the recipes! Your efforts may have changed my life. I am 78 years old, I really hate to cook but one has to eat. Finding such easy recipes for one or two is the best find.
